As for K3 vs nook, I'd still pick nook. First, I work for B&N (I don't want to be murdered by coworkers...). Second, I hate restrictive formats that limits you to what you are allowed to use, which is also why I don't have anything Apple. Yes, Amazon has things that no one else has, and I'm hoping that will change in the future. With nook, I can buy ebooks from almost anywhere and put them on my ereader. I like that.

I have sold my iPhone. I hate Apple now. It restricts every thing. Amazon is like Apple in this case. I have now Nexus One and I can do whatever I want. I am so happy that I have sold my iPhone.

Nook has Android OS. This attracts me a lot. They rooted the Nook and there are few programs available for Nook now. I saw that someone is writing a program "Google Reader For Nook". That would be awesome.

But on the other hand Kindle is cheaper (lol), lighter, brighter, smaller, thinner and its battery lasts longer. ) I feel that I'd be stupid if buy the Nook.

I'm asking the nook owners: How long your battery last if you use the nook in airplane mode? and does the weight make problem for you?

Thank you everyone for your help
